Main

S. Bryan West

I am a PhD candidate in social psychology working with David Pizarro (Cornell), Tom Gilovich (Cornell), and Melissa Ferguson (Yale). Using a combination of experimental methods and large-scale survey data, I study how moral judgment, political ideology, and religious belief interact with and influence one another, and how these relationships impact intergroup behavior, social change, and how we perceive others.
